    Handgun guy here that is new to rifles... just bought a 10/22 "donor gun" to customize into my new "tack driver". My 10/22 came to me with a Tasco 4x32scope on it.

    I am jeebing for this rifle... the Ruger Target with bull barrel. Anyone with any experience with this plinker? I am not one to "build my own" 10/22... but I don't mind upgrading and already "almost there" model. Good rifle?

    CZ trigger question...

    Love my CZ PCR but have a trigger question... When in single action the trigger has a long pull before there is any tension. My other autos have the trigger further back in SA then in DA, right where the trigger tension starts. The trigger is in the same forward position in both SA and DA on...

    Pistol Guy gets a long gun...

    Fairly new to firearms (2 years or so but obsessed), I live in a very populated area and my gun range is indoors... therefore no rifles allowed. The outdoor range is an hour away.

    CZ Barrel question

    Love my new CZ 75 D Compact... however, the barrel is got what looks like (but not sure) a light coat of polycoat overspray on it that gives it a dull gray appearance. IMO the pistol would look even better with a shiney barrel showing thru the slide. Instead of than buying a new barrel, can...

    Poll: Cleaning Habits

    How often do you clean/lube your handgun? After every session? After a few sessions? Never? The range owner said I was nuts to clean afer every session. He pointed at his rentals and said, "know how often these are cleaned?" I shrugged my shoulders and he yelled "NEVER"... and laughed...

    Pre-ban/post-ban info

    Being a fairly new handgunner... I don't get the whole pre-ban thing.:confused: My Beretta is a pre-ban handgun and carries 15 rounds... which is considered hi-cap. Yet my newest handgun... the CZ, is a 14 rounder. Why is that legal? What is the ban all about? I know you guys will enlighten me!

    Polycoat finish on CZ

    Just got a CZ 75 Compact with a Polycoat black finish. This is a new finish for me... don't know much about them. Love the handgun and don't want to make any mistakes in cleaning. Are there any cleaning fluids to stay away from? Is it ok for bore cleaner to touch the frame? Brake cleaner a problem?

    Whaddya think of this deal?

    After some research and talkin to you guys, had my heart set on a Bersa Thunder .380 for the glove box. Alas, a friend offers me her Taurus revolver (snub nose, not sure what model) in pristine condition for $100 including a speed loader, a gun rug and holster. I believe that it is an M85...
